Python Random Module Functions Explained
The random module is a module in the Python standard library that provides the functionality to generate random numbers.
- random(): generates a random floating point number between 0 and 1.
- Generate a random integer between a and b using randint(a, b).
- choice(seq): randomly select an element from the sequence seq.
- Shuffle(seq): Randomly mix up the elements in sequence seq.
- Choose k elements at random from a population to create a new list.
- Generate a random floating-point number between a and b.
- Seed: Set a random number seed to ensure that the random number sequence generated is the same each time.
- getState() and setState(state): respectively retrieve and set the internal state of the random number generator.
- Initialize the random number generator using random.seed().
- random.getrandbits(k): generates a random integer with k bits.
